lyrics

just let me sleep overhear my dreams dont let me choke buy me a pack of smokes
you call it petty but for me its a football field trench at the bottom of the sea crawling with enablers they are all precious to me
because they know my name
they know my name
and they know what it means when you say my name

im the seven deadly sins incarnate
a walking car-crash in slow motion
and i promise ill escape before the buzzer before the curtain falls and the audienceoozestheirapprovalalloverthebeersoakedfloor and backstage
we laugh about it
and the next show starts up
ill clean it up later i swear

and youre my cousin and im your best friend
and i will never let you down again
so relax in give me five more minutes in bed
because im your cousin and im your best friend
im your brother and im your best friend
and i will probably let you down again
so relax and give me five more minutes in bed
because im your brother and im your best friend

you call it petty but for me its a football field trench at the bottom of the sea crawling with enablers they are all precious to me
because they know my name
they know my name
and they know what it means when you say my name
